WATER IN WINTER.


rby Pieces of Ice should Not Be Allowed
to Melt in the Trough.
A large proportion of the food of our
animals is used tokeep up the tempera-
ture of the body to about one hundred
degrees. Cold weather, damp barn
Yards, cracks in the barn or sheds.
want of bedding and exposure to
storms, greatly increase the consump-
ton of food to no good purpose. Much
more regard is now paid to the COM
fort of our stock in these respects than
formerly. We think, however, many
fail to realize the lpss of food sustained
BY compelling animals to drink ice
odd water. Water as it comes fresh
from the well has temperature of
about fifty-five degrees. When allowed
to stand until frozen over and the ice
then broken, and pieces of ice suffered
to remain in the water, the tempera-
ture speedily falls to thirty-five de-
grees. Experiments are reported
which seem to show that it pays to ar
officially warm the drinking water for
mich cows. Be this as it may, no one
can doubt that water at fifty five de-
grees is cold enough for health. The
water that an animal drinks has to be
raised to the temperature of its body.
say one hundred degrees. And, of
course, it requires much more fuel in
food to raise a pailful of water from
thirty-five degrees to one hundred de-
grees than pailful of fresh water
from fifty-iive degrees to one hum
dred degrees. If the heat required
to warm the pailful of water twenty
degrees was derived from hay or
straw, or grain, the loss would not in
many cases be severely felt. But, as a
matter of fact, this heat is obtained
from the consumption of fat and flesh,
or butter and cheese. This is expen-
sive fuel. We are well aware that it is
not always easy to furnish animals
water free from ice. We fill the trough
with water. and the COWS, and sheep,
and horses do not drink as much as we
expected, and the next morning there
is a thick layer of ice upon the water.
In such case, break the ice in as large
pieces as possible and pull them out
with a potato hook or rake. Do not
leave them to melt in the water.
Pump plenty of fresh water for the an
imals.
With horses there is little trouble,
because they are accustomed to drink
at once if they need water. But COWS
and sheep may be very thirsty, and you
may fill the trough with water and YET
they will require considerable time be-
fore they will drink. Sheep especially
seem to be very fond of running
water as it comes fresh from the
spring or pump. In cases where q
small trough conducts the water from
the pump to the tubs or troughs, while
you are pumping you will see the
sheep drink with avidity from the run.

they will scarcely touch that which has
been standing for some hours in the
watering trough. There is great diff
ference in water, and sheep know il
